"Nature: Plants, Creatures and the Cosmos"
Tendrils...
Slowly un-coils to strengthen, reaches out to lengthen
Searching for lifes grip, finding purchase in your wicked meanderings
Exquisite bud take bloom, attract bee as your innocent abetter
Fertile seeded pod ensures continuance
Tendrils...
New life springs forth unfurling, spiral upward seeking light
Fragile feathery filigree yearning support
Searching for lifes grip, finding purchase in your wicked meanderings
Exquisite bud take bloom, attract bee as your innocent abetter
Fertile seeded pod ensures continuance
Strangulating competition in attritions war
Beware all others to your ultimate endeavour...
